We're thrilled to launch a brand new award with our amazing Premier League partner, ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐!
Every season, regional Premier League shows take place up and down the country, and behind every single one of them are volunteers who go above and beyond. The ones grooming arenas at dawn, stewarding all day in the rain, scoring, organising, troubleshooting, and generally making sure everything runs like clockwork so riders can just... ride.

Each Area Organising Committee can now recognise a person, a pair, or a whole team whose dedication and hard work made their Premier League event possible, whether that's through arena preparation, event organisation, volunteering, stewarding, scoring, rider support or sponsor presentation.
The prize package:
๐๏ธ A beautiful Arena Star certificate
๐ณ A $50 Prezzy Card to spend on absolutely anything
๐ฃ A shoutout on the Dressage NZ page, so the whole community can say thank you too!
These shows don't run themselves; they run because of people who show up, year after year, often without ever asking for recognition. This is our small way of saying a big thank you. ๐
Huge thanks to Nigel, Lucy and the whole Kiwi Arena Rakes team for making this happen. Keep an eye out for the first Arena Star announcements as the season gets underway!
